Right Hand Woman
Solo Dance and Puppetry
In this “serious contemporary dance solo” gone wrong, performer Jocelyn doesn’t realize that the audience can hear her every (doubtful and self-deprecating) thought. Desperate to fit in with other contemporary dance artists, Jocelyn performs her well-rehearsed “arm-noodling” and “invisible hula-hoop” sequences - that is, until her bloody tampon falls out unexpectedly onstage. To make matters worse, her giant tampon, Tony Tamponi, is a sentient, misogynistic a**hole. Drama ensues.
